Referring to Figs. 1, 2,' and 3 of the drawings, I and 2 Vrepresent respectively the two lconcen-A tric members constituting the body of the jar. The two members I and 2 are herein designated respectively as outer and'inner members, but they may also be regarded as base and containing members respectively, inasmuch as the member l serves as a support or base for the member 2 which serves as the primary.container. `.When thejar is intended as a substitute for the conventional or standard glass jar, the exterior contour of the member I may conform to the exterior contour of a conventional glass \J`ar.; and the member 2 preferably has an interior capacity corresponding to thaft of a conventional glass jar, although its shape maybe different if desired. The inner member 2 is preferably so formed that its interior dimensions are at least as g'eat -at the top as they are below the top. The' outer member I surrounds at least the lower portion of the inner member 2, and circumferential or peripheral portions of the' two members are in engagement with ea'ch other at a 4zone immediately below the top of the outer member. It will be understood that the members I and 2 may be molded from materials of the synthetic resin class, although the invention is not necessarily so limited. For instance, the` outer member I may be formed of metal to provide ornamental eiects or colors which cannot be'convenlently or economically 'obtained with molded material. Each of the members I and 2 is ordinarily formed or moldedas a single unitary piece, i but as to the outer member I' do not necessarily so limit myself. The members I and 2, when formed of molded material, are molded Separately. and ,it will be evident that their walls are relatively thin so that they can be conveniently molded and effectively cured. These relatively thin walls not only make possible effective' 'curingbut they also bring about a considerable economy of material as will be evident by observing the space 3 between the two members below and surrounding the member 2. While it is ordinarily preferable to provide an interior capacity corresponding to that of a standard glass jar, it is obviously possible to considerably increase the interior capacity without changing the exterior dimensions. The inner member 2 is extended upward above the top of the outer member I and is adapted to receive or engage a closure of the cap type. Preferably it is provided with external threads 4 of conventional form. A closure or cap 5 of conventional form is provided, this cap engaging the threads! on the member 2. The cap is 'substantially flat atthe top, although it may be slightly crowned,`as shown in the drawings. As shown, the exterior diameters of the member I and of the'cap 5 are the same, but -asto this-there may be variation.

The two members Il and 2 may be cemented together, if desired, to prevent relative rotative movement; -but I preferably provide the two members I and 2 with interlocking means for preventing such movement. The construction-.of the interlocking means is preferably such that the inner and outer members can be easily and quickly assembled in any of several different positions -of relative angular adjustment. The construction is such that, in assembling, the inner member is moved downward relatively to the outer memf ber; As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, at least one of the two `members is provided with acomplete circumferential series of serrations or notches, and as shown both members are provided at IEL with such serrations in engagement in each other. It will be observed that the exterior vertical serrations on the member 2 and the interior vertical serrations on the member I engage with each other. in such a Way that relative rotation is prevented. Irrespective of the initial angular relation between the two members, they can be easily and quickly engaged without much, if any, relative rotation. It will be evident that, after assembly, the outer member I can be graspedin `one hand and that the cap 5 can be screwed .into or out of place with the other hand withoutthere being any possibility of relative rotation of the member 2-.

It will be evident that a jar embodying myv invention can be filled, packed, sold and used in exactly the same manner as is now th case with glass jars. However, it has numerous advantages that are not to be found in glass jars, or .in one-piece synthetic resin jars.' There are no incompletely or improperly cured interior portions such as have'existed with one-piece molded jars; and by-reason of the two-part construction it is considerably llghter than a glass jar, thus reducing shipping weight and providing increased convenience in me. j

The air space at 3 between the two members serves to protect the contents o! the jar from excessive temperature changes. The two-piece Aconstruction further makes iii possible for the `i inner4 member 2 to be formed of such material as is best adapted to resist the action of the particular preparation to be contained in it, while permitting they outer member I to be formed of a different and, if desired, cheaper material; land if there should be any deterioration of the inner member 2, by reason of absorption of any portion of the contents or otherwise, such deterioration will not in any way affect the exterior apshould be accidentally dropped duringluse, the

if in packing or breakage, if any, would ordinarily be confined to the outer member I, thus avoiding loss ordeterithese colors are indicated as being blue, white oration of the contents.V The innerme'mber 2 with the cap constitute, in and of themselves an entirely satisfactory container.

In accordance with the invention it ispossible to provide dierent exterior designs'at a minimum expense, as it wlll'be apparent that different molds can be provided for different designs for the outer member I without changing the molds l0 required for the inner member 2.

The space 3 between the two containers, particularly when of considerable 4depth'as shown,

may be used as a supplemental container. When vthe jar is to be so used the two members are l5 readily separable. the engagement between them beingva frictional one, permitting the members to be separated by relative vertical movement.

A face cream or other cosmetic may be contained in the inner member 2 and a powder and, if de- O sired, a powder pui maybe contained in the space 3 within the outer member I. It will be obvious that after using the cream in the inner member 2 the said inner member may be Withdrawn from the outer member, thusl making lthe powder puii` and powderin the outer member conveniently available. It will also be apparent that, as an alternative, the two members 2 and I may be used to contain two different types of cream intended to be used alternately or suc- 30 cessively.

The provision of the two separate parts I and 2 makes -it possible to provide color vcombinations which add greatly to the attractiveness of the, package, particularly when the cap is removed. 3" The inner member 2 may advantageously have the same color as the cream or other contents of i the jar., while'thevouter member I may have any1.

color dictatedby artistic requirements. It" has been found that certain creams are somewhat 40 translucent and that whe@ placed in a container having a color different `from the color of the cream itself thereis an appearance of discolora tion or deterioration adjacent the edges of the container where the cream appears to partake of the color of the container. This may be entirely avoided in a jar embodying my invention, as the inner member can have exactly the same color as the cream. y l In Fig. 4 I have shown an alternative embodi- 0 ment of the invention which may be preferable in some cases. As shown, the outer member 6 is somewhat lower than the member I appearing in Fig. 3, and the inner member 1 is enlarged at' 8 to `provide an annular exteriorly exposed rib 0" adapted to be superposed upon the member 6. The construction may otherwise be similar to what is shown in Figs. 1 to 3.

While I have shown the enlarged portion or rib 8 as being of the same diameter as the outer G0 member 6 and as fitting the saidmember at a horizontal plane, it will be understood that there may be variations as to relative diameters and as to the manner of engagement in accordance with the particular ornamental design which C may be found desirable. The rib 8 may be nar` row as shown, and may have a height less than that of the cap 5.

When the form shown ijn Fig. 4 is used, the exposed porticn or rib 8 oi' the inner member may I" serve as an indication of the color, and therefore, of the character, of the cream lcontained in the jar. The exterior of the jar may, if desired, have three different colors, the' member 6 having one color, the rib 8 having a second color. 75 and the cap 5 having a third color. In Fig. 4

and red respectively.

In Figs. 5 to 9 I have shown another a1terna. z tive construction which is in some respects similar to that shown in Fig. 4.` The outer member 9 is similar to the outer member 6 shown in Fig.

4, but the inner'member I0 differs from the A member 1 in that it is deeper and of smaller diameter. The side walls of the inner m'ember III are spaced inward from the sidewalls 'of the youter member 9 so as to provide an annular space .of a plurality of lugs on one of the vmembers Il. of considerable width, thus more fullyinsuflating the inner member and its contents. from the outer member. For closing or bridging theA l bjer, but as shown it is carried by and 'formed integrally with the inner member, being designated by I2.

The flange' I2 is of the same diameter as the outer member 9 and rests on top of it.

The inner member is'closed at the top by a threaded closure o r cap I3. The `bottom edge of the cap is closely adjacent the top surface of the ange I2-and4 on account of the smaller diameter of the inner member I0 the outer diameter is somewhat less than that of the flange,

thus providingV an inward offset. The cap I3 may be provided with a liner or gasket I4 which fits against the top of the inner member to seal it.

The inner and outer members engage or are connected with each other so as to resist relative vertical movement, and the said membersare provided'with suitable interengaging or interlocking means for ypreventing relative rotation between the said members particularly when the' 4cap I3 is put in place or removed. As shown' in Figs. 5 to 9, this interlocking means consists and corresponding notches on the other member for receiving the lugs. -As shown, the inner member I0 is provided with a plurality of radially outward extending lugs I5, I 5 and the outer member 9 is provided with a corresponding plurality of notches I6, I6. Preferably, as lshown in Fig. 5, the lugs I5 are slightly tapered at their lower (ends to facilitate their entry into the notches I6.

To further facilitate assemblyx the outer mem-l ber 9 is provided with an annular rabbet I1 ad# Figs. 7 and 8 without giving any attention to the alignment of the lugs with the notches. With the lower ends of the lugs entered in the rabbet I'I the two .members can be relatively turned until the lugs come into register with the notches, as shown 1n Fig. 9. Then the inner member can be pressed relatively downward until the members are completely assembled.

With a construction such' as shown in Figs.

5 to 9, it may be desired to prevent, so far as possible, any disengagement or separation of the tw members by the user.

nv order to provide increased friction for resisting disengagement or relative vertical movement of the members it may be desirable to slightly vary the relative spacing of th'eI lugs and notches. Referring particularly todElg'. 8,. it may be assumed that the. several notches I8 are uniformly spaced circumferentially of the outer member. As to the lugs, however, there is a slight variation in spacing. -As`illustrated,

the lug at the top is spaced slightly .toward the.

left, and the lug at the bottom is spaced slightly toward the right, the amounts of offset being indicated at :c and y. It will be understood that 10 these amounts are exaggerated in the drawings,

actually being only a few thousandths of an` the members must be forced into engagement and slightly distorted. This provides additional friction which resists disengagement.

In Figs. 10 and 11 I haveshown a construction which is in many respects similar to that shown in Figs. 5 to 9. However, instead of providing a large number of small lugs such as l5 there are provided four wider lugs I8, I8. These lugs wall having internal serrations adapted to engage the serrations 23 on the outer member.

4o In the construction s'hown in Figs. 13 and 14 the interlocking connection` between the outer and inner members 21 and 2 8 is near the bottom instead of being near the top. The outer member 21 is provided at the bottom with a central circular aperture, the walls of which are provided with internal vertical serrations at 29. Formed on the bottom of the inner member 28 is a de.-

pendng boss 39 which is adapted to enter the 4 aperture in the outer member, this boss beingY provided withA vertical serrations adapted to engage the vertical serrations 29 on the outer member. In this way relative rotation between the two members is prevented, and by providing a relatively tight fit between the parts the friction resists disengagement.

The construction shown in Fig. 15 is similar to that shown in Figs. 13 and 14. The outer member 3|, instead of being provided with an aperture having a continuous series of `serrations therein, is provided with radially inward extends ing lugs 32, '32 having serrations thereon. The

inner member 33 is provided with a continuous annular series of serrations at 34, which serrations are adapted toengage the serrations on the lugs 32. A

In Flg'sfl and 17 I have shown a construction with differs from any of those thus far shown and described in that the horizontal flange for bridging the annular space between the inner and outer members is carried by the outer` member instead of by the inner member. The

outer member 35 has a radially inward extending' flange 36 which engages the inner member 31..

The said inner member may be provided with a small annular bead 38 which rests on the flange 36. The outer member 35 is also `provided with radially inwardly extending lugs 39, V39 which are serrated and whichU engage an annular series of serrations on the inner member at 49.

When the outer member is formed with a 5 radially inwardly extending ange such as 38 .orv with radially inwardly extending lugs such as 39 or with both, it is difcult, if not impossible, to

'mold it with an integral bottom wall. The bottom of themember 35 may be left/ entirely open, l0 or if desired, there may be provided a sheet metal bottom member 4I. As'shown, the member 4I is anged at 42 and has a circumferential groove at 43 adaptedto receive` a small circumferential bead on the `member 35. The groove and the l5 bead are very shallow to permit the sheet metal bottom member to be readily snapped into place.

In Fig. 18 I haveshown a construction very similar to 'that shown in Figs. 16 and 17. The

annular horizontal flange 44, instead of being 20 -formed on the outer member, is formedon the inner member 45. The outer member 46 has lugs 41, 41 thereon similar' in construction and function to the lugs 39, 39 already described. 25 I9 are formed on the inner member I9 and are In Fig. 19 I have shown a construction which 25 diners from any of those thus far shown and described in that the two members are posi- A, tively locked so as to prevent relative vertical movement. The construction is in some rfa-kI spects similar to what is shown in Figs.- 13 and 30 14, there being an outer member 48k and an Linner member 49. The/inner member 49 has a flangeJ 50 which rests upon the top of thelnuter member Y48 and preferably the bottom of the flange 59 is provided with serrations at 5I which register 35 with corresponding serrations at 52in a rabbet formed in the top portion of the outer member 48. The, bottom Wall of the member 48 is formed with an opening at 53 and a threaded projection 54 is formed on the bottom of the inner member 40 i 49,this threaded projection extending through ,the opening 53. A nut 55 is provided which engages the threads on theprojection 54 and also engages the bottom of the bottom wall of the member 48. The-two members 48 and 49 are 45 first yassembled in the relationship shownand then the nut 55 is put in place, thus positively y `holding the twp members together.-

It will be observed that the interengaging serrations at 5| and 52 positively prevent any rela- 50 tive rotation between the inner and outer members. f The construction shown in Fig. 20 is similar, to that shown in Fig. 19 and the outer and inner members 55 and 51 are similar to the outer and 55 l inner members 48 and 49 shown inFig. 19. The inner member has a downward extendingprojection 58 which is hollow and which is internally threaded. A 'plug 59 is provided which venters the central opening in the bottom-wall of 00 the member 56 and is externally threaded ,to

engage the internal thread in the projection 58. l Y
